What We're Going on a Bear Hunt is

We're Going on a Bear Hunt is a puzzle game developed by Channel 4 and released in 2016. It is available on Android and iOS.

The premise, in the publisher's words

You play as one of two children who goes out to hunt a bear. You travel through grass, a river, mud, a forest and a snowstorm before coming face to face with a bear in its cave. This meeting causes panic and you run back home, across all the obstacles, followed by the bear. Finally, you lock the bear out of the house and hide under the duvet saying "We're not going on a bear hunt again." The story is similar to the book it is based on, but only one child goes out to hunt a bear. Rather than five children, as described in the book.
